JULIE ELLIS HALL

Description

Set in the heart of Villanova, Pennsylvania, this idyllic four-bedroom, three-bath residence offers a rare blend of timeless design, thoughtful updates, and an extraordinary walk-to-everything location. Restaurants, the train, and daily conveniences are just steps away, while the home itself is anchored by an exceptional, nearly half-acre flat rear yard with a gracious terrace—ideal for both everyday relaxation and memorable entertaining. Behind the classic white picket fence, a New England–inspired exterior welcomes you along a charming path to the front door. The home has been recently painted and expanded by the current owner, a well-regarded West Coast interior designer known for a refined, neutral palette and enduring selections that feel both chic and comfortable. The entry foyer greets with a traditional turned staircase, deeply stained hardwood floors, and a glimpse into the inviting living room with its wood-burning fireplace. French doors from both the living room and the adjacent dining room open to a covered side porch, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection and enhancing the home’s natural flow for entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen is a study in crisp, timeless design, featuring white cabinetry, black countertops, generous windows, and a seated dining area. Plentiful counter space supports both everyday living and entertaining, complemented by a suite of professional appliances. A convenient rear exit leads directly to the terrace and expansive backyard. A spacious mudroom and family entrance thoughtfully manages storage with style, while a powder room adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, four bedrooms and two full baths provide comfortable accommodations. The primary bedroom is adjacent to a recently renovated bath with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, designed to blend seamlessly with the home’s original aesthetic. Three additional bedrooms—two currently used as offices or sitting rooms—are bright and generously sized with ample reach-in closets. A secondary back staircase enhances flow and functionality throughout the home. The mostly finished lower level offers flexible informal living space, along with laundry, craft, and gym areas. A full bath adds versatility, making this level ideal for guests or overflow living, and a Bilco door provides additional functionality and peace of mind. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that balances classic charm, designer sensibility, and an unbeatable Main Line location—truly a place where timeless style meets everyday ease.
